Thanks, my friend. You are a true gentleman and scholar.

You're very welcome, it's always nice to see something different than the usual suspects, and this is certainly unique I'm certainly going to consider something like this as a future project as a formal dress watch

[Edit to add]

Might you ever consider selling this one?

Just out of interest what age are you superlative?

My first rep was Rolex SD.. sun dial....just saying.

Still looks pretty good today.

I've been scouring the bay to find vintage light for my franken SD project, but everything I find is only about 8 minutes old...

My father bought a Rolex sub the day I was born in 79, sadly my dad isn't here nor is the watch,I think one of the relatives helped them selves to it after my dad died, would have loved to have that today, would have cherished it

Wait a minute - my story is true.

Wow...I don't suppose any of you have ever heard of Harry S. Truman. Next Wednesday I will receive my third Social Security deposit. I may be the oldest guy here.

Personally find this comment a little arrogant.I think perhaps you are mis estimating the average age of members here and the depth of experience.

LOL

Some people take life VERY seriously I guess. Hope you survive the insult.

Personally I am flattered.

Of course, 'Give `em H­ell Harry!. I fart dust.

Why would anyone destroy a classic timepiece to make a hideous franken like this. Thank God you are not the "only" Rolex Modder

Let's give him a break. While poorly chosen, I don't think Super intended his intro to be offensive or condescending.

Welcome to RWG Super. Remember to try the roast beef and tip my your waitresses.

"Hmmm, 1980 you say?"

In 1980 I was riding a tricked out '79 Suzuki GS1000N across 'The Dragon' a time or two a week. I wore out so many tires that I bought a Coats 220 MC tire changer.

(I started riding The Dragon in 1963 on a Ducati 250 Monza, a long time before it was called The Dragon)

In 1970 I was riding a 1948 HD Panhead (first year for the Pan!). Did a lot of walking and bumming rides too.

In 1960 I was riding an Allstate (Puch) 125.

In 1950 I was riding a tricycle.

Got my first good watch in the late 1960's...Hamilton 992B. Before that it was mostly 'dollar biscuit' pocket watches.

Looking back...I should have stuck with dollar biscuits and 992 Hamiltons.

Speaking of the Dragon, my youngest son and I flogged it to death last summer...

I agree 100%..I dont think his Intro was Intentionally offensive either.

The roast beef was out of this world btw....thanks for the "beef" tip.

Hmmm, 1980 you say?

I was already a professional DJ for 2 years and started the pirate radio era in my country and break the monopoly of the state radio.

I am still a legend 32 years later for that and the state radio has much less lsiteners than we, the private radios.

Now that is arrogant right

Oh, then pirate radio took long to jump over from Germany.

My father had a pirate radio station in the late 50s - luckily the detecting technology wasn't as good at that time so they went after him but never got him...

Now, as I'm retiring, I might take another hobby like internet-pirate-radio.

Oh, wait... That's nothing pirate...
